There are countless use cases for IoT devices within the laboratory, as there are many situations where scientists need access to systems or data in the lab from external locations, or where they need to access information but are in the middle of an experiment or risk contaminating their technology with hazardous substances. What is Talk2Lab? - Integration of smart devices in a lab environment - "Talk to" Alexa to retrieve real time data from your laboratory - Use sensors to monitor temperature, water flow and laser power in a laser lab - Alerts and warnings through Slack for out of specification readings How does Talk2Lab Work? - Access sensor data through Slack and Echo dot Devices - Uses Node-RED & MQTT for data transferralRead More
